Context: ni · Feeds D02 (dairy registration, conditional)

Summary

MPI’s schedule of dairy fees, which the model needs only as a conditional line: registering a farm dairy and holding a Risk Management Programme are required when milk is sold, not when a community supplies its own members. It pairs with REG_031 (self-supply of raw milk is unregulated) to establish that the MPI fee and the refrigerated vat are conditional add-ons, not part of the default self-supply dairy CapEx.

Key claims

- claim: "FARM-DAIRY REGISTRATION + RMP FEES (only if milk is SOLD). Registering or renewing a farm-dairy operator (for raw milk supply) is a one-off $135 excl GST ($155.25 incl). A Risk Management Programme costs $270 (template) or $405 (customised), plus $135/hr for overage. These apply to selling milk; a community consuming its own raw milk (self-supply) is not regulated and pays none of them. [verified against the raw: '135.00' confirmed; fees reviewed 1 Jul 2022]"
  source_location: "MPI 'Dairy fees and charges' page (farm-dairy operator registration; RMP fees), reviewed 1 July 2022."

Model use

  • A conditional cost line in D02 (RT_387): add MPI registration (135) + a refrigerated NZCP1 vat only in the scenario where the community sells milk. For the default self-supply community these are 0 (a domestic fridge suffices, per REG_031). REG_035

Notes

  • Role. Sets the regulatory shape of the dairy cost: self-supply = no vat, no registration; selling = both apply.
  • Provenance. MPI government fees page (curl capture), authoritative first-party, figure verified against the raw.
